RCR training for NIH Scholars and Trainees. OCTRI offers an
interactive and practical 8-hour seminar which can meet the NIH
requirements for K awards or T awards. The majority of each session is
dedicated to active learning and models a rational approach to address
real ethical, integrity and regulatory issues that have arisen in the
course of your research.

Additional mentoring activities to provide support to the Scholar.
